"The staff really makes this place shine. That and the location. You cannot beat it right next to Bowen’s Wharf. Also, the pool is fun and the outside areas are as well. The staff is all very nice and work hard to make it a great experience. The property is a little tired and could use a refresh, but it’s not dirty, just a bit old. I choose to overlook and just enjoy the location and the great atmosphere. "

"Good staff, clean rooms… comfortable beds. Good breakfast "

"This was my first time staying in Newport and overall I had a good experience at The Wayfinder. Parking was plentiful and easy, and upon arrival the welcome from the staff at the front desk was super friendly. The hotel was quite clean, a little unique and funky (in a good way), and the staff were super nice and friendly. The room I was in was comfortable overall - I especially appreciated the local bath products. My only note is that the design elements (at least for my type of room) could use some work - I stayed by myself and felt that storage for just my things was a bit minimal. There were no drawers (despite ample space in the room for them) and the only place to put clothes was a strangely placed rack on a side of a wall. Storage would be tight for two, let alone a more occupied room. Given the size of the rooms, I found that strange. The room also was surprisingly poorly lit and could have used 1-2 extra lamps. Easy fixes that would enhance the in-room experience. The hotel is a bit outside of the downtown area - but that wasn't an issue for me, and they offered a shuttle. Overall enjoyed my stay. Staff was friendly, rooms were quite clean (the gym's equipment was pretty new and clean too, as a bonus), satisfied my needs. I also went pre-pool season, but I imagine that would be nice. In-room Keurig was a plus too. I would just plan for a bit of a wonky in-room storage situation, which I hope they can remedy (because again, the rooms were sizable)."

"Food at the restaurant was great. Enjoyed our visit for my daughter's college graduation. "

"We loved the deck overlooking the water. We ate at 1639 and the food was delicious. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We plan to be back again."

"You could be so much better, but I don’t think you will spend the money with the effort to become that. It’s an old property and it’s very European and I travel all over the world dozens of times a year so I do appreciate some elements of this property, the facilities in my room, but it leaves a lot… A lot… A lot to be desired. You need more lighting in the room that is so simple and won’t cost you anything. You can’t have bunkbeds. I know that seems European, but somebody was complaining that was checking in the same time as me with her daughter how many people really want bunkbeds this is not summer camp. I stayed in a hotel in Amsterdam that was very tight and small and they still managed to put a regular bed. I felt like the staff was more concerned with the martini bar downstairs than guests who are paying $600 a night as opposed to $15 for a cocktail. The var . I felt like the staff was more concerned with the martini bar downstairs than guests who are paying $600 a night as opposed to $15 for a cocktail. The various people at the front desk almost felt like they were pulled off the street and didn’t know anything about the property. They couldn’t be more clueless and I don’t mean that personally. I mean that for management. It’s a great location, but you can’t rest on just that. Nobody was guarding the front door when an undesirable odd situation happened. A high-end boutique hotel needs to protect itself and its guest. I was fine with the lift but its outdated . 2/5"

"Friendly and clean"

"I believe I choose the right spot. It’s only 6-8 minutes from Newport, RI. Which during the weekends is great because staying in The town of Newport during the summer is very busy and a little congested. The staff at the hotel was nice and informative. Lived my window view of the water, so peaceful! There’s a couple of restaurants around and an awesome ice cream shop. The beach is a few mins walk down the street! I would definitely stay again!"

"Clean room, very pleasant staff, great place for a night before a flight. "
